...enterprising Israelis are already offering all comers overland transport by truck and rail to the Mediterranean. This week some 500 tons of Ethiopian hides and coffee are scheduled to be transshipped to Europe over this route, which, while costlier than the Suez passage, can compete with transport around the Cape of Good Hope...

Its flight was a partial test of the "vehicle" that will lift the U.S. artificial satellite in 1958, and the instruments that will steer it, into its orbit around the earth. When the satellite is established there, one of its most important jobs will be to keep track of the global movements of the white clouds far below. It will then be busy at the homely...
